Make tributes apolitical

Is our governor trying to become a national political figure for an election for higher office?

Other politicians in the state, when paying tribute to our fallen heroes, praised their work. However, our governor had to end her tribute with a political statement, which I feel was totally inappropriate.

Our Border Patrol agents, whether Republican, Democratic or independent, are doing their job to protect our borders, which can't be sealed entirely. We appreciate the efforts of these fine men and women and salute them for their sacrifices and hard work.
